2nd Grade

CLASS ACTIVITIESWith this being my first year in second grade everything is new and exciting. We did a pumpkin project where the children had to disguise their pumpkins and write about them. Later in the spring we will do a dinosaur unit that I know the children will really enjoy.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHYI believe every child deserves to learn in a safe, creative, Christ-centered environment. I will create a classroom environment where children are free to grow academically and socially. I will foster open communication in student-to-student and student-to-teacher relationships. It is my ultimate goal to provide each child with the tools and strategies to become lifelong learners and productive members of their school, church, and community families.

MISSION STATEMENTI believe that every child deserves to learn in a safe, creative, Christ centered environment. To provide this opportunity, I will create a classroom environment where children are free to grow both academically and socially. I will also strive to foster open communication in student-student and student-teacher relationships. It is my ultimate goal to provide each child with the tools and strategies to become life long learners and productive members of their school, church, and community families.

WHY YOU WANTED TO BECOME A TEACHERI have always enjoyed working with children. I knew I wanted to be a teacher after working two years in a preschool/daycare. I am so blessed to be at a school where I can teach about Jesus and His love for us.

HOBBIES/INTERESTSI love to read, watch movies, travel, and shop. I have two beautiful children, a daughter in fifth grade and a son at Richwoods High School.
